Today I finally talked my husband into taking me to a local attraction, “the Spiral Jetty”. It is about an hour from my house and something people come from all over to see. I have lived here my entire life and up until about 15 years ago I had no idea it even existed. This […]

Weekly Wash #16: WAY Bumpy Washcloths
A great washcloth/dishcloth in my opinion is easy to make and thick enough to do the job. When I made my Daisy Hanging Towel I realized the towel part would make excellent cloths too! I have included a variety of sizes from a 6″ to an almost 12″ cloth because I have found some people […]
Weekly Wash #15: Daisy Hanging Towel
Each year I do a few dishcloth swaps with amazing people I have met online. It is one of the funnest parts of my year to receive all of the cloths from across the United States and seeing what they created. As part of these swaps I design a special cloth for the event. This […]
Weekly Wash #14: JP Large Flower Cloths
I have always wanted to design a large flower washcloth so after making the “Jonathan Flowers” cloth I thought I would try a large version. I really like how it turned out. I made the purple on first and then a friend suggested scrubby yarn for the center. Since I have to hold another strand […]
Weekly Wash #13: Jonathan’s Flowers
Over the past 10 years I have met the most amazing people and I love seeing the things they create from my patterns, especially when they make them for their kids. Tammi and Jonathan Pereira are a mom and son I have met through my shop and I consider them personal friends. I first met […]
Weekly Wash #12: Mini Simple Square Cloths
I’ve always made washcloths 6-8″ so when I was given a few little mini cloths I thought “those are cute…. what do I do with them?”. Well, I ended up using them for a TON of things. These little 4.5″ cloths are great for removing make up, dishes, little piggies, even coasters. I found so […]
Weekly Wash #11: Let Us Scrub
Spring starts this weekend and I have already started my spring cleaning…planning HAHAHA. This scrubby will be great for getting the house and even the car squeaky clean. Did I set out to crochet a head of lettuce? No, but that is totally what I ended up with! lol. I wanted a scrubby to slip […]
Weekly Wash #10: Washcloths in a Jif
We’ve all had that moment when we needed something right then but had very little time to make or buy it. Often, while traveling with our trailer, I run out of washcloths to use. I try to keep lots of cotton yarn with me so it is good to have a simple pattern to whip […]
Weekly Wash #9: Scrubby Duster
Since we live in a desert and have gravel pits in town (where they mine away the mountain and turn it into gravel, sand, etc), dusting is an ongoing project in my house. I go through these duster things like crazy. So this past weekend, when I noticed I had tons of the handles that […]
Weekly Wash #8: Lucky Washcloths
There are lots of crochet patterns for washcloth/dishcloths. My favorites are ones that whip up quickly, can be made on a road trip without a lot of concentration and are thick and strong. I got lucky (hence the name… plus St. Patrick’s Day is on my mind lately) and these turned out to fit all […]
